Ingredients
  

1 ½ pounds flank steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Kitchen twine for tying the roulade

Instructions
 

Prepare the Flank Steak: Begin by placing the flank steak between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the steak to an even thickness of about ½ inch. This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to roll.

    Marinate the Steak: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub the marinade all over the pounded flank steak. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

      Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and fresh basil. Mix well to combine.

        Assemble the Roulade: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once marinated, lay the flank steak flat on a clean surface, with the grain running horizontally. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the surface of the steak, leaving a small border around the edges.

          Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the steak tightly into a cylinder, ensuring the filling stays inside. Once rolled, secure the roulade with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. Tie the ends to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.

            Sear the Roulade: In a large ovenproof skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rolled flank steak and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

              Bake to Perfection: Once the roulade is evenly browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

                Rest and Slice: After removing the roulade from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices. Carefully remove the twine, then slice the roulade into 1-inch thick pieces.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Plate your gorgeous flank steak roulade slices, drizzled with balsamic reduction or your favorite sauce if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or a light salad.
